throttle and glide settings. A modern jet model is usually not so easy to fly! The included EF (Electric Fan) system is impressive
and will fly your new jet at exciting speeds! We know you'll enjoy flying your next sortie and combating bogies at your local flying field
with the Phase 3 Models EF-16.
